President Joe Biden’s campaign is ramping up its defense of Kamala Harris on the anniversary of his selecting her as his running mate to counter attacks from Republican presidential candidates who see her as a liability for his reelection bid.
Biden campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez and senior adviser Becca Siegel called Harris a “fearless and effective messenger” and an “essential partner in the ticket’s electoral success and the historic record of accomplishments in the first two years of the Biden-Harris Administration,” in a memo released Friday.
